three months ago 22 kids were killed in newtown, massachusetts. we have yet to have a single hearing on mental health, on gun safety, on background checks, on whether we limit the number of rounds in a magazine, on military-style assault weapons. but i rise today because in this bill various substantive legislation, which i believe is out of order in an appropriations bill that deals with tracing a gun used in crimes and the prohibition to use any information that might be gained from tracing guns used in crimes in any kind of study to figure out where these are coming from. and so i dare say that the appropriations committee held a hearing on gun safety or gun -- on mag stpwhreens or even on this -- magazines or even in pages l, sections 514, 169 and 170, and i believe, mr. speaker, this is a very important subject that this house has got to take up. it can't be part of some appropriations bill where there's never been real testimony and where we have substantive legislation. so i appreciate the work that you've done on the appropriations piece,
